For employers and HR
Coaching for your employees
Employees who make the most of their strengths, take initiative and feel engaged. With a coach who knows the business world from the inside.
When do you bring in a coach?
Employers often ask me at moments like these. Your employee can also request coaching themselves, for example from their employee benefit budget.
A talent you want to help grow
For example in a high potential program. Together we create a development plan that benefits both your employee and the organization.
Feedback that needs follow-up
About communicating effectively, making better use of their strengths or finding the right place in the team.
Someone isn’t feeling their best
An external sounding board helps them get a grip on the situation again.
New employees
Often internationals at the start of their career. How do things work in the Dutch workplace, and how do you become effective in your job?
Returning to work or concerns about absence
When someone returns after sick leave or a conflict, or when there are concerns about absence.
The shared goal: that your employee takes ownership of their own situation and takes initiative. That is good for the organization, but above all it is in the interest of the employee.
It does require that your employee wants the program and is committed to it.
What drives your employee?
The drives scan
In many programs I use the drives scan by Into Drives. Your employee sees in black and white what gives them energy, what drives them and where they experience resistance.
By focusing on their own qualities, and on what they truly enjoy and are good at, your employee gains new confidence and new energy.
Your employee gets more than the official report: a report in which I relate the results to their coaching themes, with exercises that stay useful in the long run.
How it works
-
1
You choose the format
A budget per employee, or a fixed number of sessions. Three sessions are often enough to make real progress.
-
2
Your employee schedules
Through my page for employees, they make an appointment with me themselves.
-
3
Coaching on location
Sessions of 1.5 hours, at your office, on a walk, or in a coaching room in Utrecht close to Central Station, or in Arnhem or Nijmegen. That way little working time is lost to travel.
-
4
Is there a click?
After the first session, your employee decides whether to continue. A good click with the coach makes all the difference.
Confidential, and effective because of it
What your employee discusses with me stays between us. Because I’m external, your employee can speak freely. I notice this especially with internationals, who often don’t tell their employer everything.
I’m a former Managing Director in banking and a coach, and a member of NOBCO. I know how organizations work, and about half of the people I coach are not from the Netherlands.
Indication
Every program is tailored
The investment depends on your question and the format. If, for example, you invite me to your office one morning every two weeks, or we work online, you can do a lot more.
As an indication: three sessions of 1.5 hours per employee from €999, excluding VAT.

Case: High Potential Program
Renate O.
Associate Director
Renate started her program as part of her employer’s High Potential Program. She wanted to shape her development plan and get clear on what drives her and which next role would suit her.
In five sessions, using the drives scan, we worked on her story and her pitch. The result: a stronger pitch about herself, more confidence in how she presents herself, and a firmer footing in conversations about her next steps.
4.7 / 5
An employer offered coaching to 17 employees. This is their average rating.
“Simon helped me turn clarity into confident action, and that shift led directly to a promotion.”
“He takes the ‘mess’ and slowly, carefully untangles it, pausing at every step to go over the thoughts.”
